THE TEAM NEWS
HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants were pushed all the way by Barrow Raiders in their Challenge Cup clash last week but the Super League outfit did just enough to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of that competition.
- That win saw them put their loss to Hull FC in their previous encounter behind them and they are further boosted this week with the return of Theo Fages, Jack Cogger and Josh Jones to their 21-man squad, although Will Pryce will serve the second of a ten-game ban for the horror tackle that saw him sent off against the black and whites.
21-man squad: 2 Jermaine McGillvary, 4 Ricky Leutele, 5 Ashton Golding, 6 Tui Lolohea, 7 Theo Fages, 8 Chris Hill, 9 Danny Levi, 10 Michael Lawrence, 11 Josh Jones, 12 Chris McQueen, 13 Luke Yates, 14 Matty English, 15 Joe Greenwood, 16 Jack Cogger, 17 Owen Trout, 18 Sebastine Ikahihifo, 19 Adam O’Brien, 20 Oliver Wilson, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 23 Oliver Russell, 25 Innes Senior
Unavailable: Jake Wardle, Will Pryce
Questionable: Jack Cogger, Theo Fages, Josh Jones
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons were given a Challenge Cup scare by Featherstone Rovers last week but they were able to keep their winning streak in all competitions intact and will now go in search of a seventh straight success.
- The Dragons are missing a handful of players including key men Mitchell Pearce and Michael McIlorum but they will be able to call upon centre Samisoni Langi who returns to the squad this week.
21-man squad: 2 Tom Davies, 3 Samisoni Langi, 5 Fouad Yaha, 7 Josh Drinkwater, 8 Gil Dudson, 11 Matt Whitley, 12 Mike McMeeken, 13 Benjamin Garcia, 14 Alrix Da Costa, 16 Paul Séguier, 17 Mickael Goudemand, 18 Matthieu Laguerre, 19 Arthur Romano, 20 Tyrone May, 21 Corentin Le Cam, 22 Dylan Napa, 24 Mathieu Cozza, 25 César Rougé, 27 Joe Chan, 28 Sam Kasiano, 29 Sam Tomkins
Unavailable: Arthur Morgue, Julian Bousquet, Jordan Dezaria, Mitchell Pearce, Michael McIlorum, Dean Whare, Benjamin Jullien
Questionable: Samisoni Langi
THE PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants and Catalans Dragons were both tested by Championship opposition in their respective Challenge Cup clashes last week and now they will do battle back in Super League action. The Giants will hope to be better with the ball with the return of Theo Fages in the halves and they will hope to take advantage of the Dragons’ availability issues. The French side are without some key men but have won their last six games in all competitions and they are favoured to prevail based on their recent form.
